Biography
Adolfo Lugo Verduzco was born in Huichapan, Hidalgo, Mexico on 3 March 1933, and he graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico with a law degree. President Miguel de la Madrid appointed him president of the Institutional Revolutionary Party in 1982 in the middle of a horrible economic crisis, and the PRI began to lose elections in Chihuahua, Durango, and Coahuila. He famously responded to the election results, "In elections, you win or you lose." From 1987 to 1993, he served as Governor of Hidalgo.
